In the sense of we get him laterish, after something important and plot related has happened.

That is so damn creepy.

Based on Enemy of Thedas, Dorian looks to be the one who introduces the party to the Venatori/Elder One plot, which is probably is towards the middle or end of the first act considering that he's shown at Skyhold while it's still being rebuilt.

I knew Lucy was a butt pirate!

I love you.

I see the wait for Dorian and game itself has taken its toll on everyone severely.

Does Dorian have any negative sides? I haven't seen any so far and it makes me worried since he can't simply be perfect?

Well he does seem like he's pretty cocky. That could be annoying at times. He could also have weird Tevinter ideas in his pretty head. We don't know that much about him, so coming to any certain conclusion about parts of his personality is a bit pointless.

Well... the devs said he's "сonfident to the point of being arrogant". I guess the rest we'll have to find out for ourselves.

I'm actually really interested in where Dorian actually stands on the whole magocracy idea. Like, are his issues purely with the corruption and oppression present in Tevinter, but not necessarily with the basic structure itself? I'd very much assume he's taken on board the Tevinter Chantry take on 'magic was meant to be ruled by man', though, since he appears to be someone who enjoys flaunting his power. There's also the factor that Dorian obviously comes from a social position of considerable privilege, and it'll be interesting to see how that comes across in his dealings with both others and fellow Tevinters.

Sounds more of positive than negative thing to me

Well so far I have already seen things I dislike and like from other companions. I have seen only good things about Dorian.

Someone also did mention, earlier in this thread, that his stance on slavery is unknown. It'd add something to argue about if he sees the problems with the abuse of blood magic and mage superiority but doesn't see a problem with slavery.

I do not think the streams are any indication on when a companion is recruitable.  Sometimes they make specific builds for demos/streams that enable all companions to be open.  That's just a guess on my part.

 

I thought that too, but then I noticed Vivienne and Blackwall have specific dialogue related to those bandits; meaning they can indeed be recruited before you go to that area.

The Sword Coast is an entirely optional area though, so perhaps they have that dialogue because any Inquisitor at any level can eventually go to do that quest. You could just keep putting it off and only recruit [companion character x] very late in the game.

 

From my understanding the Hinterlands/Redcliffe is the first area we go to, and it looked plenty big enough to stretch beyond level 5...

The part that I put in the spoiler box is probably spoilers.

[Eudaemonium]

I wonder how many areas are completely optional (out of the 'big 10') and how many are main route. Hinterlands is obviously a main plot area, but it seems that the Storm Coast and presumably the Fallow Mire might be completely optional. Considering the Wardens seem to be a main plot thread, I'd say that the Western Approach is going to be a main route area, but the Emerald Graves seems a bit unknown at this point. This also relates to companions. I wonder how many companions we have to recruit, how many we have to meet but can refuse and how many we might never meet. If Storm Coast is completely optional, that makes it likely that

Iron Bull is in the last category (wondering if Cole is too)

. Cassandra, Varric, and Solas seem to be in the first. I'm pretty sure that Dorian is going to be a character you definitely meet (during a Venatori attack ?), but I am unsure if he'll be refusable or not.

He's a dork. Like, he has real **** sense of humour and the puns... the puns are the worst. If Dorian ever found himself to be a father, the dad jokes would never cease.

[Arvaarad]

Well so far I have already seen things I dislike and like from other companions. I have seen only good things about Dorian.

If the game with Cullen is any indication, he really can be overconfident at times. If I were looking to hire him in real life, that's a huge red flag. Overconfidence in personal life has its charm, but when a team is relying on his ability to accurately predict his performance, it's a liability.

Fortunately, since this is a game, I can RP an inquisitor that says "sure, I believe you can take those guys on," then immediately whispers "we'll need at least 3 squads of backup" to the advisors.

Oh God, I really hope he isn't pro-slavery. Yeah, it would make sense since he was raised in a culture where it's normalized and could be interesting to explore story-wise, but so many people will hate him for it regardless of any other details, and I don't think I can take my canon LI being the fandom punching bag two games in a row.

Guessing it was Anders last time?

Pretty sure the main reasons people would "hate" Dorian would be more plot-relevant than pro-slavery (if it is true that is). 

 

You're more likely to see hate him for:

 

1) Being a Tevinter Mage

2) Being "a gay" and having him hit on male PCs.

[(Disgusted noise.)]

Of course. I don't mind criticism, because there's obviously a lot to criticize, but the constant screeching about what unadulterated evil he is and that anyone who didn't murder him is a monster is hard to sit through.

Pro-Slavery Dorian?
